Around Central Florida - BRIEFS

COCOA — The body of a 30-year-old man was found Monday in a Brevard County landfill west of Cocoa.

Police do not have an address for Vincent Mims, but officers have notified his father in Georgia.

An employee of the landfill called authorities shortly before 4:30 p.m., saying the remains had been discovered partly covered with garbage at the landfill at 2250 Adamson Road, said Brevard sheriff's spokeswoman Joan Heller.

The fully clothed body had been in the dump for at least a day, Heller said. Officials said there were no signs of trauma and that the case is being investigated as a suspicious death.

Investigators declined to release the victim's name until the woman's family had been notified, said Lake County Deputy Sheriff Earl Underwood.
